  • Cladding the Mid-Century Modern: Thin Stone Veneer-Faced Precast Concrete
    CLADDING THE MID-CENTURY MODERN: THIN STONE VENEER-FACED PRECAST CONCRETE Sarah Sojung Yoon Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Columbia University May 2016 Advisor Dr. Theodore Prudon Adjunct Professor at Columbia University Principal, Prudon & Partners Reader Sidney Freedman Director, Architectural Precast Concrete Services Precast/ Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) Reader Kimball J. Beasley Senior Principal, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) ABSTRACT Cladding the Mid-Century Modern: Thin Stone Veneer-Faced Precast Concrete Sarah Sojung Yoon Dr. Theodore Prudon, Advisor With significant advancements in building technology at the turn of the twentieth century, new building materials and innovative systems changed the conventions of construction and design. New materials were introduced and old materials continued to be transformed for new uses. With growing demand after WWII forcing further modernization and standardization and greater experimentation; adequate research and testing was not always pursued. Focusing on this specific composite cladding material consisting of thin stone veneer-faced precast concrete – the official name given at the time – this research aims to identify what drove the design and how did the initial design change over time. Design decisions and changes are evident from and identified by closely studying the industry and trade literature in the form of articles, handbooks/manuals, and guide specifications. For this cladding material, there are two major industries that came together: the precast concrete industry and the stone industry. Literature from both industries provide a comprehensive understanding of their exchange and collaboration. From the information in the trade literature, case studies using early forms of thin stone veneer-faced precast concrete are identified, and the performance of the material over time is discussed.

The strongly lithified self-built channels and modern pools where analysed for their 238U,234U,230Th, 226Ra, 210Pb and 210Po contents, whereas 238U,234U and 226Ra were measured in modern hydrothermal waters. When corrected for detrital contamination, 230Th-ages of travertine samples range from 1215±80 years, in the oldest self-built hydrothermal channels, to the Present (modern pool carbonate deposits) thus pointing to the inception of the existing huge travertine depositional systems during the very late Holocene, probably following the major Laodikeia earthquate of the early 7th century (cf. Kumsar et al., 2016; DOI 10.1007/s10064-015-0791-0). So far, the available data suggest three major growth phases of the travertine system: an early phase (7th to 8th centuries CE), an intermediate phase (~ 14th century CE) and a modern one, less than one century old.

  • Suspension Bridges
    Types of Bridges What are bridges used for? What bridges have you seen in real life? Where were they? Were they designed for people to walk over? Do you know the name and location of any famous bridges? Did you know that there is more than one type of design for bridges? Let’s take a look at some of them. Suspension Bridges A suspension bridge uses ropes, chains or cables to hold the bridge in place. Vertical cables are spaced out along the bridge to secure the deck area (the part that you walk or drive over to get from one side of the bridge to the other). Suspension bridges can cover large distances. Large pillars at either end of the waterways are connected with cables and the cables are secured, usually to the ground. Due to the variety of materials and the complicated design, suspension bridges are very expensive to build. Suspension Bridges The structure of suspension bridges has changed throughout the years. Jacob’s Creek Bridge in Pennsylvania was built in 1801. It was the first suspension bridge to be built using wrought iron chain suspensions. It was 21 metres long. If one single link in a chain is damaged, it weakens the whole chain which could lead to the collapse of the bridge. For this reason, wire or cable is used in the design of suspension bridges today. Even though engineer James Finlay promised that the bridge would stay standing for 50 years, it was damaged in 1825 and replaced in 1833. Suspension Bridges Akashi Kaiko Bridge, Japan The world’s longest suspension bridge is the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan.

  • Decaying of the Marble and Limestone Monuments in the Urban Environment

FRANK-KAMENETSKAYA*, Dmitrii Yu. VLASOV, Marina S. ZELENSKAYA, IrinaV. KNAUF & Mariya A. TIMASHEVA Saint Petersburg State University, Saint Petersburg, 199034, Russia Received March 2009; accepted June 2009 Available online September 2009 ABSTRACT. The results of a long-lasting research of sulphation process, which causes an essential deterioration of marble and limestone monuments in Saint Petersburg are reported. Based on a variety of field and analytical methods we can show that the decay process forming a gypsum-rich patina depends mainly on the local environment, the moisture accumulation, and is connected with the fissuring and porosity of the rock and the relief of a monument. Three main stages of gypsum-rich patina formation in the presence of microorganisms were revealed. Key words: marble, limestone, travertine, stone decay, gypsum-rich patina, biodeterioration, Saint Petersburg, Russia. INTRODUCTION Saint Petersburg monuments and in particular to investigate: (a) the morphology and the peculiarities of gypsum crystals, The sculptures and constructions made of marble and (b) the variations of chemical composition of the gypsum limestone have a special position among the unique crusts, and (c) the role of micro-organisms in the gypsum architecture ensemble of Saint Petersburg (Russia).

These members are distinguishable, for examples, by means of using different types of architectural members or of sculpturing the newly inserted parts plane unlike the original ones with detailed ornaments. According to the Venice Charter―the international guidelines on the restorations of monuments and sites―, it regards the former material as a respectable 1 element to achieve the intervention goalP0F .P The genuine also has an important role; it is one of information sources to evaluate the authenticity of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites. These roles testify values of original materials in Europe where many historical buildings contain durable materials such as stone and bricks.
